PART I
Item 1. Business
New Fiber Cloth Technology, Inc. (the “Company,” "Registrant," “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 2, 1999 under its former name, Park Hill Capital III Corp. The Company entered into a certain Share Exchange Agreement dated January 26, 2006 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Deborah A. Salerno, Frank L. Kramer, John P. O'Shea (the “Park Hill Controlling Shareholders”), Polara Global Limited, a British Virgin Islands international business company (“Polara”), each of the Polara Global Limited shareholders (the “Polara Global Limited Shareholders”), and WuJiang DeYi Fashions Clothes Company Limited, a People's Republic of China limited liability company (“DeYi”), pursuant to which the Registrant agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of Polara Global Limited from the Polar Global Limited Shareholders by issuing 73,834,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) as consideration on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”). The Company filed a report on Form 8-K on February 1, 2006, describing the material terms of the Share Exchange. On July 31, 2006, the Company closed the Share Exchange and the Company's name was changed to New Fiber Cloth Technology, Inc.
Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange, Polara became the Company's wholly- owned subsidiary. Polara owns 100% of the membership interests of DeYi. DeYi, organized in 2000, is a textile manufacturing company located in the People's Republic of China. DeYi manufactures a variety of products using polyester, cotton, nylon viscose, acetate, cupro and other materials.
Up until the Share Exchange, our only activities had been organizational ones, directed at developing our business plan and raising the initial capital for the Company. We had not commenced any commercial operations, nor had we employed any full-time employees. We did not own any real estate.
Our business plan prior to the Share Exchange was to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. Our search was directed towards small and medium-sized enterprises which had a desire to become public corporations and which were able to satisfy, or anticipate in the reasonably near future being able to satisfy, the minimum asset requirements in order to qualify shares for trading on NASDAQ or on an exchange such as the American or Archipelago Stock Exchange.
Now that we have consummated the Share Exchange, we will be principally engaged in the holding of investments. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Polara, will in turn function as a holding company for DeYi, our operating arm, and any other subsidiaries that we may later acquire.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Laws and Regulations on Business
1. Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements will affect us. For example:
- Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer must now certify the accuracy of all of our periodic reports that contain financial statements;
- Our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures; and
- We may not make any loan to any director or executive officer and we may not materially modify any existing loans.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our current procedures and policies to determine whether they comply with the Act and the new regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes- Oxley Act and will take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that we are in compliance.

2. Reporting Obligations. Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with therules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissionregarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matterssubmitted to shareholders of our Company at a special or annual meetingthereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date thatdefinitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.
We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control, acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, and bankruptcy) in a current report on Form 8-K.
3. Regulation of Penny Stocks. Our securities, when available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).
For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of our Shareholders to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefrom.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities may constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules may apply to us and our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of our Shareholders to sell their Shares in any market that might develop for those securities.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our m anagement is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
POLARA GLOBAL LIMITED
Polara was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 29, 2001 under the International Business Companies Act, British Virgin Islands. Prior to the Share Exchange, Polara functioned as the holding company for the membership interests in DeYi. Polara will still principally function as a holding company for 100% of the membership interests in DeYi now that the Share Exchange has been consummated.
To the knowledge of our management and based upon a review of the stock ledger maintained by our transfer agent and registrar, the following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of persons who owned Polara Common Stock before the closing of the Share Exchange, such computations being based upon the 50,000 shares of Polara Common Stock:

WUJIANG DEYI
DeYi, a People’s Republic of China (“China”) textile company, with its headquarters located in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province, is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of finished fabrics targeted for sale towards the middle to high-end overseas (including the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and the Middle East) and Chinese markets. The company’s products are used for manufacturing men’s and women’s fashions (including outer garments, eider down wear, trousers, windbreakers, multi-functional clothes and jackets and sleepwear).
DeYi was founded by Yao DeRong in 2000 with the financial support from Itochu Corporation (“Itochu”), a multinational conglomerate headquartered in Osaka, Japan. Itochu has been ranked by Forbes Magazine as the 18th largest corporation in the world, with more than 180 offices and almost 1,000 subsidiaries or associated companies in over 80 countries. Itochu’s operations cover a broad spectrum of industries ranging from textiles, automobile and industrial machinery, aerospace, information technology, electronics, multimedia, metals & minerals, energy and chemical, food, forest products, general merchandise, finance, realty, insurance and logistics services.
Polara, which is now wholly owned by us, holds one hundred percent (100%) of DeYi. Itochu Textile Materials (Asia) Limited (“Itochu Asia”) held 5,000 shares of Polara Common Stock prior to our Stock Exchange and currently holds 7,383,400 shares of our Common Stock. Although Itochu Asia will not be involved in the active management of DeYi, it has acted as a consultant for DeYi in the past. Moreover, Itochu is one of DeYi’s largest customers and also provides raw material in relation to production of cuprammonium fabrics to DeYi.
In addition to manufacturing and selling finished woven fabrics, DeYi provides fabric-processing services to Chinese garment manufacturers. DeYi’s production processes and capabilities include research and development, weaving, dyeing and setting, cloth finishing and calendaring. DeYi’s range of processing capabilities allows the company to meet customer specifications and requirements with a wide variety of finished woven fabrics.
DeYi has an established and diversified network of customers within China. Additionally, DeYi has successfully penetrated the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and Japan markets, and has also established business relationships with high profile clientele in those markets. With the assistance of Itochu, DeYi successfully became the exclusive manufacturer of cuprammonium fabric for Asahi Kasei Corporation, Japan.
DeYi maintains stringent and comprehensive quality control procedures throughout the production process, from the purchase of superior raw materials through product packaging. The following certifications, awards and accreditations have been obtained by Deyi since its incorporation:

DeYi currently owns one production plant. Its production plant in Wujian, Suzhou has a gross floor area of 30,127 square meters and is operated by three shifts for 24 hours per day, almost 350 days a year. DeYi is currently in the process of expanding the production plant from one to three storeys and once this expansion is completed in August 2006, the gross floor area will increase by 10,000 square meters. A summary of the actual annual production of this plant and the estimated maximum annual production after completion of the plant’s expansion follows:
| | | |
Product type | | Actual annual production in 2005 | Maximum annual production after completion of expansion |
Cotton and Linen | | 420,000 meters | 16,000,000 meters |
Synthetic Fiber | | 73,000,000 meters | 75,000,000 meters |
Regenerated Cellulosic Fiber | | 600,000 meters | 45,500,000 meters |
DuPont Fire-Resistant Fabric (Nomex) | | - (production is made at the request of DuPont only) |
Throughout the production process, computerized machinery is used to optimize productivity and to ensure product quality. Notwithstanding the shortage of energy (electrical and thermal) supply in China, DeYi’s production plant has not been affected because it is located next to Yi Long Electrical and Thermal Power Factory, which provides continuous supply of electrical and thermal power to DeYi. The plant has never experienced any shortage of power in the past.
DeYi also currently leases a dyeing plant, together with the machineries therein. The production capacity of this leased production plant is forty percent (40%) of the production plant owned by DeYi.
The major production machines used by DeYi are:

DeYi’s Business Development
DeYi’s long-term goal is to become an internationally recognized high quality fashion cloths manufacturer. DeYi’s plans for continued business development involved the following:
Expansion of production capacity
DeYi intends to expand its production capacity through the leasing of existing printing and dyeing plants and/or through the purchase of computerised printing and dyeing machinery and equipment. DeYi will also increase its purchase of raw materials to cope with its expanding production facilities.
Vertical integration
To ensure the quality of DeYi’s products and to adapt and respond to the market in a timely manner, DeYi plans to vertically integrate by establishing a fabrics manufacturing plant for the production of high quality raw fabrics for its own use on 123 acres of land. Initial approval has been obtained from the local government for the acquisition of this land but the sale of this piece of real property has not been finalized. By vertically integrating, DeYi hopes to realize higher profit margins and increase competitiveness.
Expansion of product range and enhancement in products quality
DeYi plans to widen its range of products and enhance the quality of its products by focusing on research and development. DeYi intends to continue its work with international industry experts while also seeking to work with research professionals and academics in the textile industry in order to invent new products and improve existing products and production processes.
Market expansion
DeYi also plans to extend its geographical coverage by: (1) expanding markets in Asia, Europe and North America and opening up new markets in the Southern hemisphere and the Middle East; (2) continuing to attend international industry trade fairs; and (3) increasing the number of sale offices in China and other geographic locations. DeYi intends to strengthen its marketing force by providing further training to its staff and by hiring additional experienced sales personnel.

Competitive Business Conditions
The textile industry is highly competitive. Our competitors include both domestic and foreign companies, a number of which are larger in size, have significantly greater financial resources and, in the case of some competitors, lower labor costs than we do. Competition in the form of imported textile and apparel products, pricing strategies of domestic competitors and the proliferation of newly styled fabrics competing for fashion acceptance affect our business environment. The primary competitive factors in the textile industry include price, product styling and differentiation, quality, flexibility of production and finishing, delivery time and customer service. The needs of particular customers and the characteristics of particular products determine the importance of these factors. To the extent that one or more of our competitors gains an advantage with respect to any key competitive factor, our business could be materially adversely affected.
Notwithstanding this competition, DeYi’s established reputation in the fabric manufacturing and processing industry, as well as its close relationship with Itochu and its customers allow DeYi to maintain its competitiveness. Set out below are the names of a few of our customers:

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Laws and Regulations on Business
Environmental Regulations. Under the prevailing laws and regulations in China, any enterprise that discharges sewage into water is required to register with the relevant environmental protection authorities in regards to the enterprise’s sewage discharging facilities and sewage treatment facilities, and is also required to provide information on sewage disposal and the measures taken to prevent water pollution. Moreover, such an enterprise is required to pay fees for the discharge of sewage into water. In cases where the level of sewage exceeds the standard promulgated by the relevant authorities, penalties are imposed.
Furthermore, new construction projects, expansion or reconstruction projects that discharge pollutants into the air must comply with the government’s regulations on environmental protection for such projects. Organizations that discharge pollutants into air must adhere to a reporting requirement and must also pay a discharge fee. In cases where the level of air pollution exceeds the standard promulgated by the relevant authorities, penalties are imposed.
DeYi places significant emphasis on environmental protection. It currently produces 4,000 tons of sewage per day which is processed by its self-owned second level sewage treatment system, before the sewage is transferred to the government operated Shengze Town composite sewage processing plant for further processing.
Research and Development
DeYi has a research and development team of approximately 35 members. Most employees of the research and development (“R&D”) team have obtained either diplomas or bachelor degrees and have years of experience in the textile industry. The research and development team keeps abreast of the latest market information through its sales network and develops products with different texture and style to cater for the latest market trends. Apart from developing new products, the R&D team also conduct research to improve the quality and the production techniques of its existing products.
To strengthen its R&D capability, DeYi has since the second half of 2004 engaged Italian and Japanese industry experts as its consultants. It also cooperates with China Textile Technology Institute and Shanghai Donghua University, both in China, for the development of new products, and improvement of product quality.
After years’ efforts, DeYi’s R&D team successfully invented two post-processing techniques, the details of which are set out in the section headed “DeYi’s Intellectual Property Rights” of this Form.
Raw Materials
Raw materials used by us comprise principally various types of yarns, raw fabrics, dyeing chemicals and fabrics processing chemicals. Except raw fabrics, dyeing chemicals and fabrics processing chemicals for the production of cuprammonium fabrics, which are acquired from Itochu, and raw materials for production of viscose lining, which are supplied by ENKA in Germany, raw materials are acquired in the PRC.
Before placing a purchase order for raw materials, we select suppliers on the basis of price quotation and quality of the raw materials. Save for the specialized materials supplied by Itochu and ENKA, all raw materials used in the Group’s production are readily available in the market. To maintain flexibility in obtaining raw materials of good quality at a competitive price, we have not entered into long-term supply contracts with its suppliers. However, we have not experienced any difficulties in the sourcing of raw materials or any shortage of raw materials that have affected its production materially.
DeYi generally commences production after receiving a sales order. Raw materials will then be purchased from suppliers. In order to satisfy urgent orders from customers, it keeps stocks of popular products and raw materials.
Marketing and Distribution
The Group has sales offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou with approximately 20 employees. They are responsible for (i) promoting the Group’s products; (ii) soliciting purchase orders from customers; and (iii) liaising with customers to ensure our ability to meet the latest market needs. Regular visits and telephone communications are made to its customers. Business meetings with major customers are held frequently in order to formulate the production and sales plan.
The Group also participates in international fabric shows organized by Interstoff (www.interstoff.com) held in Paris, Shanghai and Hong Kong on a regular basis to promote its products and obtain purchase orders. Advertisements are also placed in textile industry websites and in the form of outdoor billboards.
10
DeYi owns an export right but its export sales are mainly conducted and settled through an import and export company located in Nanjing since this arrangement allows DeYi to get instant tax rebate.
Employees and Labor Relations
As of July 31, 2006, we have approximately 550 employees, all of them are full-time staff working in the following departments:
| |
Position | Number of employees |
Management | 40 |
Technical and research and development staff (including engineers) | 30 |
Sales and marketing | 30 |
Production | 450 |
| 550 |
DeYi’s employees are members of a union, which is responsible for negotiating with DeYi terms of employment and compensation benefits of its members. DeYi has not experienced any difficulties with the union in the past. DeYi is subject to certain national and local safety and health, employment and environmental laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to manufacturing businesses generally. It provide dormitory to those employees who are willing to stay in such dormitory. DeYi pays approximately 2% of the worker's monthly wage for social security (including but not limited to health and retirement benefits). We have not made, and do not anticipate making material expenditures with respect to such regulations.
We believe that DeYi has a good relationship with all of its employees.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our Common Stock. Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our Common Stock may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.
Risks Related to Business
Fluctuations in the price of raw materials or shortages of supply could adversely affect our business.
Although we have not experienced any significant price fluctuations for our major raw materials in the past, there is no assurance that such major raw materials will be supplied in an adequate quantity to meet our production needs or that they will not be subject to significant price fluctuations in the future. The market prices of such raw materials may experience significant upward adjustment if, for instance, there is a material shortage of these materials in the market.
We have a limited operating history.
We have a limited operating history. DeYi was founded in 2000. Although DeYi has been operating at a profit, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet our business objectives, or that we will continue to operate at a profit. Furthermore, as a holding company, we have significant limitations on access to cash flow from our holding of Polara, which in turn holds DeYi. We are a holding company that has no significant business operations or assets other than our interest in Polara. Accordingly, we must rely entirely upon distributions of DeYi and then Polara to generate the funds necessary to meet our obligations and other cash flow needs, including funds necessary for our working capital and compliance fees. Each of DeYi and Polara is a separate and distinct legal entity that has no contingent or other obligation to make any funds available to us, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Any failure to receive distributions from Polara or DeYi would restrict our ability to pay dividends on our shares, prevent us from having the funds necessary to operate as a public company, and could otherwise have an adverse effect on our operations.
One stockholder’s immediate family has majority control over our Company's voting stock, which will allow him to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
11
Upon the Share Exchange, Yao DeRong, our Chairman of the Board, controlled approximately 30.40% of the combined voting power of our Common Stock. Yao DeRong’s immediate family, including Ren WeiRong, son-in-law, Tang ShengLi, son-in-law, Yao YunZhen, daughter, and Yao YunHong, daughter, together own approximately 58.90% of our issued Common Stock. As a result, Mr. Yao DeRong can exercise substantial influence over our affairs and outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
We rely on skilled labor.
Our production process relies, to a certain extent, on skilled labor. This skilled staff may only give short-term notice when they decide to leave us. If we fail to recruit suitable replacement staff in a timely manner, this may have an adverse impact on our production process.
We rely on key management and officers.
Our success is dependent upon the talents and efforts of a small number of key management personnel including Yao DeRong, our Chairman, Rei WeiRong, our Assistant General Manger, and Parker Seto, our Chief Financial Controller. The loss of such management personnel could have an adverse effect on our business.
We rely on production facilities in China.
All of our production facilities are located in China. Any significant interruption of production in these facilities arising from a change in government regulations, a breakdown in production lines, an interruption to the supply of electricity or water, any fires, or other accidents and calamities will have an adverse impact on our business.
Our industry is highly competitive and our success depends on our ability to compete effectively.
The textile industry is highly competitive. Our competitors include both domestic and foreign companies, a number of which are larger in size, have significantly greater financial resources and, in the case of some competitors, lower labor costs than we do. Competition in the form of imported textile and apparel products, pricing strategies of domestic competitors and the proliferation of newly styled fabrics competing for fashion acceptance affect our business environment. The primary competitive factors in the textile industry include price, product styling and differentiation, quality, flexibility of production and finishing, delivery time and customer service. The needs of particular customers and the characteristics of particular products determine the importance of these factors. To the extent that one or more of our competitors gains an advantage with respect to any key competitive factor, our business could be materially adversely affe cted.
We have several customers that account for a large portion of our net sales. The loss of, or significant decline in our sales to, any of our large customers could adversely affect our business.
We do not operate under a long-term supply contract with any of our customers. The loss of any of our large customers could have a material adverse effect on our net sales.
If we are unable to fund our capital expenditure requirements, we may fail to remain competitive.
The textile manufacturing industry is capital intensive. Accordingly, to maintain our competitive position, we must continually modernize our manufacturing processes, plants and equipment. We expect to invest approximately $5 million during the next few years in capital improvements designed to:
| | | |
| • | | properly maintain our facilities; |
| | | |
| • | | reduce manufacturing costs; |
| | | |
| • | | expand manufacturing capacity; |
| | | |
| • | | enhance manufacturing flexibility; and |
| | | |
| • | | improve product quality and responsiveness to customers. |
12
We expect to finance our capital improvements with cash from our Private Placement Offering. To the extent these sources of funds are insufficient to meet our ongoing capital improvement requirements, we would need to seek alternative sources of financing or curtail or delay capital spending plans. We cannot guarantee that we can obtain financing when needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to make capital improvements necessary to continue modernizing our manufacturing operations and reduce costs, our competitive position may suffer.
If we fail to identify fashion trends, we could lose market position and our financial performance could be negatively impacted.
The success of many of our products depends upon early identification of consumer preferences for fabric designs, colors and styles. A failure on our part to identify fashion trends in time to introduce products and fabrics consistent with those trends could have an adverse effect on acceptance of our products by consumers and a corresponding adverse effect on our results of operations due to costs associated with failed product introductions and reduced sales.
Infringement of our trademark may adversely affect us.
Our operating arm, DeYi, uses certain trademarks to market and sell its products. Trademark infringement in China is a significant problem and concern for us. Although there are indications that the Chinese government has been tightening its control over intellectual property rights infringement in its major cities and although we are not aware of any material infringement of DeYi’s trademarks, any significant or uncontrolled infringement could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and on our business and operating results.
The war in Iraq and any future armed conflict or terrorist activities may adversely affect the U.S. economy and our business.
The U.S. and other countries have been engaged in a war in Iraq. The military action in Iraq could escalate geographically or prompt terrorist attacks against the U.S. or other countries. The war in Iraq and any future armed conflict or terrorist activities in the U.S. or abroad and any consequent actions on the part of the U.S. government and others, including further military action, may adversely affect general economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries. Further deterioration of prevailing economic conditions in the U.S. could reduce demand for our products.
Risks Related to China
Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be adversely affected by political, economic and social developments in China.
Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice. Changes in China's policies, laws and regulations or in its interpretation or its imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of our investment in China and in the total loss of your investment.
If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing U.S. capital markets.
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.
It may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against our management or DeYi.
All or a substantial portion of our assets are located in China. Inaddition, all of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or substantial portions of the assets of such non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons. Moreover, there is doubt as to whether the courts of China would enforce:
13
· Judgments of United States courts against us, our directors or our officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or
· In original actions brought in China, liabilities against non-residents or us based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.
The Chinese government could change its policies toward private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate it, which could result in the total loss of our investment in that country.
The Chinese legal system is not fully developed and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to you.
The Chinese legal system is a system based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People's Court. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, the Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. Two examples are the promulgation of the Contract Law of China to unify the various economic contract laws into a single code, which went into effect on October 1, 1999, and the Securities Law of China, which went into effect on July 1, 1999. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these l aws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, as the Chinese legal system develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
We may experience lengthy delays in resolution of legal disputes.
As China has not fully developed a dispute resolution mechanism similar to the Western court system, dispute resolution with Chinese customers over contracts can be difficult and there is no assurance that any dispute involving our business in China can be resolved expeditiously and satisfactorily.
Any adverse changes in China’s tax legislation may effect our profitability.
Under the applicable tax laws, regulations and notices in China, DeYi is subject to income taxation at a preferential rate of twenty-four percent (24%). If there are any adverse changes in the regulatory regime of China’s tax legislation or if the tax provisions turn out to be inadequate to meet our actual tax liabilities, our profitability may be adversely affected.
We rely, to a certain extent, on the Chinese market
Sales in China represent a significant portion of our Company’s total sales. Accordingly, any changes in China’s demand for our products, as well as any changes in China’s economic, political and social conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, and taxation treatment will impact us. There is no assurance that such changes will not affect our performance and the profitability of our Company.
Currency conversion in China and fluctuations in exchange rates pose a risk to our business.
We currently receive a substantial amount of our revenue and make substantially all of our payments in RMB. The existing foreign exchange regulations have significantly reduced foreign exchange controls of transactions, including trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and payment of dividends. Although the Chinese government has publicly stated that it intends to make the RMB freely convertible in the future, we cannot predict whether the Chinese government will continue its existing foreign exchange policy or when the Chinese government will allow free conversion of RMB to foreign currencies. Additionally, foreign exchange transactions continue to be subject to foreign exchange controls and require the prior approvals of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China. Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into USD has been based on the exchange rates published by the People’s Bank of China from time to time. Fluctuation in exchange rates may adversely affect the value, translated or converted into USD, of our net assets, earnings and financial position.
14
We may be adversely affected by changes in China’s legal, political, economic, and social landscape.
Since 1978, the Chinese government has been undergoing a series of political and economic reforms. Such reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress and many of the reforms are expected to be refined and improved. In the past 20 years, the Chinese government has implemented economic reforms for the purpose of transforming China from a planned economy to a market economy with socialist characteristics. These reforms have resulted in a more significant role played by market forces in the allocation of resources, and enterprises have been given greater autonomy in their operations. However, many of the regulations implemented by the Chinese government are still in their initial stages of development and may be subject to further refinement and revision aimed at optimizing the overall economic system of China. Other political and social factors may also lead to further readju stment and refinement of reform measures. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such economic, political or social reforms will have a favorable effect on our operations. Moreover, changes in China’s legal, political, economic and social landscape may have an adverse effect on us.
We must comply with numerous environmental laws and regulations, which could involve substantial costs. If we fail to comply, we may have to pay large penalties.
China has been tightening its environmental regulations. As a result of China’s admission to the WTO, it is possible that China will adopt increasingly stringent environmental regulations to keep in line with other developed countries. We must comply with various laws and regulations limiting, among other things, the discharge of pollutants and the storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances, including some substances that contain constituents considered hazardous under environmental laws. Our dyeing and finishing operations result in the discharge of substantial quantities of wastewater and emissions to the atmosphere. We have never breached the relevant environmental protection laws and regulations since DeYi’s establishment. However, there is no assurance that we would be able to comply with the relevant regulations should the Chinese government impose stricter environmental protection standards and regulations in the future. We cannot assure you that our environmental liabilities and costs will not increase materially in the future and have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.
China’s Admission into the WTO may make it difficult for our products to compete effectively against overseas competitors.
China became a member of the WTO on December 11, 2001. After the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) expired on January 1, 2005, all quotas on textiles and clothing imposed on members of the WTO have been abolished. The expiration of the ATC has attracted more overseas textile manufacturers and producers to import into China and hence, has increased competition from overseas competitors. This increase in competition has the potential to adversely affect our business.
Future problems or strains in China’s Trade Relations with the European Union and the United States may impact our sales and profitability.
The increase in the number of imports from China has triggered recent trade disputes between China and the European Union, and China and the U.S. The disputes have resulted in calls by the textile and apparel producers in Europe and the U.S. for the imposition of safeguard measures and new trade barriers against China’s textile industry. Under the global trade rules, the European Union and the U.S. could restrict growth in Chinese imports to 7.5% a year until 2008. The impact on China’s textile industry under the proposed investigations and re-imposition of quotas by the European Union and the U.S. is still uncertain. The possible imposition of additional safeguard measures and quotas towards the Chinese textile industry may have an adverse impact on our sales and profitability.
Risks Related to Securities
New legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the recent and currently proposed changes in the rules and regulations which govern publicly-held companies. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
15
While we believe we have adequate internal control over financial reporting, we are required to evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the price of our shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with this annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we will be furnish a report by management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report will contain among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment will include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management. This report will also contain a statement that our auditors have issued an attestation report on our management's assessment of such internal controls. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2 provides the professional standards and related performance guidance for auditors to attest to, and report on, our management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404.
While we believe our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we are still compiling the system and processing documentation and performing the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging. We cannot be certain that we will be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that such internal control is effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2006 (or if our auditors are unable to attest that our management's report is fairly stated or they are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls), we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and complet eness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Failure to comply with the new rules may make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on committees of our board of directors, or as executive officers.
You may lose your entire investment in our shares.
An investment in our Common Stock is highly speculative and may result in the loss of your entire investment. Only investors who are experienced investors in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in us.
There is no trading market for our securities.
Our Common Stock is not quoted for trading on any stock exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers over-the-counter bulletin board, and there is currently no trading market for our Common Stock. There can be no assurance that an active market will develop or be sustained. The lack of an active public market for our Common Stock could have a material adverse effect on the price and liquidity of the common shares.
Our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 59.28% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters.
As of July 31, 2006, our other officers and directors, collectively, as a group, beneficially owned 46,072,416 shares of our Common Stock (approximately 59.28%). These shareholders could control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also could prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these shareholders may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.
Third parties may be discouraged from making a tender offer or bid to acquire us because of this concentration of ownership.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Common Shares because they are considered a penny stock and are subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock.” Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00
16
per share. Our shares are considered penny stock. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
A broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor,” generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
In the event that your investment in our shares is for the purpose of deriving dividend income or in expectation of an increase in market price of our shares from the declaration and payment of dividends, your investment will be compromised because we do not intend to pay dividends.
We have never paid a dividend to our shareholders, and we intend to retain our cash for the continued development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, your return on investment will be solely determined by your ability to sell your shares in a secondary market.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Operation and Financial Review
The Company has completed a recapitalization transaction with Polara Global Limited in Year 2006 and our Group consists of the Polara Global Limited which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as the holding vehicle for the major operating subsidiary in China, Deyi Fabric Factory The principal activities of the Group is the manufactures, dyes and sells fashion clothes materials. The products are distributed in Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and Africa.
There is no change in the business of the Group in Year 2006. There is 25% increase in the sales revenue of the Group in Year 2006 compared to Year 2005. However, the gross margin has been reduced 15.5% in Year 2005 to 13.2% in Year 2006. The Management considers that the very slight decrease in gross margin is part of the result of fierce competition in the industry especially after the liberalization of textile quota restriction. The increase in its business segment of income derived from Asia about 5% more than that in Year 2006 is an expected trend of the above stated market situation. The positive effect on slight increase in such geographical segment sales has made the Selling expense per Dollar sales being reduced from $0.0189 to $0.0139, representing a 36% saving in Selling and marketing cost that improves the cost-efficiency of the Group’s business marketing activities.
There is no significant change in the Company’s Administrative expenses as there is no significant change in the Management structure and number of staffs of the Group in our operating subsidiary in Wujiang city in China..
The Group has achieved a Revenue of $45,027,749 for year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $35,978,461 in year 2005, that represents a 25% increase whereas the gross profits for the relevant periods are $5,951,729 vs. $5,584,494 respectively, representing an increase of 6 %. The Management is delighted that our strategy in focusing in Asia as an expanded production centre for garment in the world which provides the opportunity for achieving an economic-of-scale for upward revenue and profit growth in the most cost-efficient way is proven to be a success.
The Group has completed its restructuring and hence the reverse acquisition in Year 2006. The reverse acquisition exercise completed has provided a way for the Management to go to the United States Capital market which the Management is now contemplating for such financing exercise in the Year 2007.
There has been many marketing effort that has been exerted by the Group for its Europe and United States customers for Year ended December 31, 2006. The Company has been successfully negotiated for being on the designated supplier’s list of certain textile material for the manufacturers of ‘Adidas’ brand shirts which is a benchmark for the quality of products our Group is offering in the market. We are now in the preliminary stage of test-production and expect to grow with more purchase orders in this newly-developed market in Year 2007.
In addition, the Group has been in discussion with the Textile Institute of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, one of the leading institution in Asia, for the application of its patented ‘Nano-technology’ in cloth dyeing that is water-resistant, which we targets for the application of such advanced technology in our textile product would provide a new market segment for our product distribution. The Group plans to go into a more in-depth testing and implementation of such product as one of its new product line to be offered in market in Year 2007.
The Management is of the view that while maintaining the current product mix with the current market mix that provides a stable income base for the Group, it is also important for the Group to plan for new product lines targeting for a higher margin that will contribute more profit and diversified grade of products to the Group, which would then mitigate the risk of any intensive competition of current product lines of the Company that may cause downward trend to the profit margin to the Company in future.

Financial Resources and Liquidity
In Year 2006, the total asset of the Group has grown to $50,447,681 compared to $36,385,839,
representing an increase of about 38%. However, the debt ratio has no significant change between Year 2006 and 2005 (60.16% in Year 2006 vs. 59.13% in Year 2005) as there is no significant change in capital structure of the Group and its credit policy.
The Company has a net operating cash deficiency of $1,685,043 in Year 2006 vs. an positive balance of operating net cash flow from operating activities of $439,246 in Year 2005. This is due to the receivables being granted to various customers in the course of business in light of the increased sales we have achieved. The Management has consistently monitored the credit level granted to various customers periodically to minimize the risk of over-extension o of credit. The average receivable collection days are 169 days in Year 2006 vs. 82 days in Year 2005. However, the inventory turnover days is about 29 days in Year 2006 vs. 48 days in Year 2006 which the turnaround of inventory has been accelerated more than 70% in Year 2006. The Payable days due to suppliers have been slighted increased from 62 days in Year 2005 to 70 days in Year 2006. The total number of days lapsed for operating cash flow has been 103 days of operating cash received behind operating cash payment in Year 2006 vs. 36 days of operating cash received ahead of payment in Year 2005 has made an operating cash deficiency in Year 2006.
As indicated above, such temporary shortfall in operating cash flow due to the expansion of business has been covered by the increase in net cash flow from investing activities of $3,275,517 of proceeds from notes receivables from Note issuers who are its customers also in Year 2006 that result in a net cash inflow from investing activities of $2,513,889 in Year 2006 compared to a net cash outflow of investing activities of ($7,516,278) in Year 2005, the quality of notes receivables from customers are evaluated periodically that balance between the risk of bad debt against the increased purchase orders to be placed by these customers.
The Group’ s business policy of market expansion with prudent evaluation is supported by our principal bankers whom have granted about $6 Millions of Notes payables that finance the operating of the Company. All such notes payable are at an interest rate lower than the gross margin and even the net profit margin of 10%
The Management would continue look for any good business opportunities that would further leverage the current financial strength and the management advantages of the Group to further foster the business and enhancing the return to our shareholders with a well-balance risk-and-reward business policy.
Pursuant to the terms as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement for the transaction, if there is no financing of $5,000,000 within 120-days after the close of the Share exchange transaction, the Park Hill Controlling shareholders pre-recapitalization would have its aggregate shareholding from 5% post-recapitalization to 2%. Finally, there is a cancellation of 2,379,184 shares of Common Stock has been credited to the additional paid-in capital of the Company as effected according to the above arrangement because there is no Financing exercise of $5,000,000 or more has occurred within the 120-day period after the Closing of Share Exchange when the said 120-day period ends before December 31, 2006
The Management considers the said cancellation of capital stock of the Company has no effect on its financial resources and liquidity position.

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange, we, the Park Hill Controlling Shareholders, Polara and Vincent Lin, Esq. as "Escrow Agent," entered into an escrow agreement dated July 31, 2006. The parties agreed that Park Hill Controlling Shareholders place an aggregate of 2,379,184 of the Company’s shares (the "Escrow Shares") in escrow with an escrow agent. While the shares are in escrow, the shareholders of Park Hill pre-recapitalization who delivered the Escrow Shares will have a right to vote the Escrow Shares and will also have a right to any and all dividends paid to the holders of our Common Stock.
If the Company consummates a Private Placement Offering of our securities (post Share Exchange) in which we raise not less than $5,000,000 (the "Financing") within 120 days of the closing of the Share Exchange (subject to extension as provided in the Agreement) (the "Escrow Term"), the escrow agent, at the end of the Financing, shall deliver the Escrow Shares to Park Hill Controlling Shareholders and/or other shareholders who delivered the Escrow Shares to the escrow agent. In this event, the Park Hill Controlling Shareholders and/or our other shareholders holding 3,886,000 shares of Common Stock will own five percent (5%) of Park Hill and the Polara Global Limited Shareholders holding 73,834,000 shares of Common Stock will own ninety-five percent (95%) of Park Hill.
However, in the event that the Financing is not consummated in the amount of not less than $5,000,000 during the Escrow Term, the escrow agent shall deliver the Escrow Shares to us and the Escrow Shares shall be cancelled on the Company’s stock transfer records.

2.00% |
Others | | 10,041,424 | 13.33% |
Total | | 75,340,816 | 100.0% |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
New Fiber Cloth Technology, Inc.
(Formerly Park Hill Capital III Corp.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of New Fiber Cloth Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statement of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Group conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of consolidated financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.
(b) Consolidation

| | | | | | | | |
Name of company | | Place of incorporation | | Date of incorporation | | Attributable equity interest % | | Issued capital |
| | | | | | | | |

Wujiang Deyi Fashions Cloths Company Limited (Deyi) | | People’s Republic of China | | April 29, 2000 | | 100 | | US$10,000,000 |
F-10
Deyi manufactures, dyes and sells fashion clothes materials. The products are distributed in Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and Africa.
(c) Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
(d) Economic and political risks
The Group’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Group’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(e) Concentrations
The Group has three major markets which accounted for the following percentages of total sales and total accounts receivable as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:
| | | | | | | |
| Revenue | | Accounts receivable |
| 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 | | 2005 |
Asia | 58% | | 53% | | 97% | | 93% |
Europe | 35% | | 43% | | 1% | | 6% |
Others | 7% | | 4% | | 2% | | 1% |
Total | 100% | | 100% | | 100% | | 100% |
(f) Land Use Rights
Land use rights are being amortized by the straight-line method over the respective lease terms ranging from 44 to 50 years.
(g) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 20 years
Machinery 10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Office equipment 5 years
Other equipment 5 years
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
F-11
(h) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Group are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
During the reporting years, there was no impairment loss.
(i) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for intended use.
(j) Inventories
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
(k) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Doubtful debt included in administrative and other operating expenses were $94,102 and $124,398 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively.
(l) Advances to suppliers
Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for purchasing raw materials.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Group maintains bank accounts only in the PRC. The Group does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America.
(n) Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure notes payable.
(o) Marketable Securities
The Group’s investment in marketable securities consists of an investment in a Chinese open-ended fund that invests in Chinese corporate equity securities. The Group’s investment is classified as available-for-sale. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, unrealized gains and losses on this investment is included in other
F-12
comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from the sales of marketable securities and declines in value considered to be other than temporary are to be included in other income (expense).
(p) Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Group is the Renminbi (RMB). The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
| | | |
| 2006 | | 2005 |
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.8003 | | 8.0734 |
Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.9637 | | 8.2033 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
(q) Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
-Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
-Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
-The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
-Collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments have been established.
(r) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
The Management believes that one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Polara Global Limited, which is a British Virgin Island incorporated company that has not been carrying out any business activity in Hong Kong, has accepted certain trading receipt from businesses concluded outside Hong Kong, which Management believes that there should be no Hong Kong profits tax exposure. However, for the sake of prudence, there is Hong Kong profits tax of 17.5% being provided on the profits of Polara Global Limited as $34,776 and $57,432 for the years 2006 and 2005 respectively in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of Hong Kong .

However, also in accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, from the time that a company has its first profitable tax year, a foreign investment company is exempt from corporate income tax for its first two years and is then entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. The Company’s first profitable tax year was 2003. The Company will be levied at the 33% tax rate in 2008. As such, the Company’s income tax expense for 2006 and 2005 was $629,152 and $570,287 respectively.

In May 2005, the FASB issued a SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” to replace APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” requiring retrospective application to prior periods consolidated financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, SFAS 154 requires the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropria te components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, SFAS 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. The effective date for this Statement is for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005.
In February 2006, the FASB issued a SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” to amend FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140,
F-14
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
The Group does not anticipate that the adoption of these two standards will have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.
